[mapserver-users] Saving mapfiles into GPKG and Spatialite?

[Andrea Peri]

Hi Jukka,

some time ago we fund the work of Furieri to enhancement on spatialite
the for storing the metaata ISO19115 and all kind of XML stiles (like
SLD and any other kind of XML) and also the SVG ofcourse.

Our plan was to go forward an automatic and compliant support of the
styles onqgis and of course also on mapserver.

Unfortunately the release of geopackage and also the lack of
spatialite support on qgis will break our plan.
A definitively stop to our plans was when on qgis was insert an
uncompliant storing of qml styles using a blob field instead of the
XMLBlob that Furier add to the last 4.1.1 spatialite.
This will mean that on qgis there was no optio to support a
standardized version of style storing.

After this we remap out plans, and go to see forward the
gdal approach.

Also we see with interest (and funding options) to the autostyle .
Our plan now is to enhance the gdal driver for spatialite to be able
to read/write from the standard tables XB on spatialite 4.1.1 for
metadata, styles and SVG.
Also we like to use the Autostyle capabilities of gdal to create a
standard style for rendering.

Actually 'm study the auto-style of gdal to see how much they can map
a rendering of QGIS/QGIS-Server  and of MapServer (out main
softwares).

Regards,

Andrea.

> While playing with GPKG and Spatialite which offer a nice way for delivering data in ready-to-use format I have been wondering if it could be possible to store also mapfiles or GGIS project files and styles into the same database. Spatialite has a special tool for importing XML documents so I believe that it could be used for storing QGIS files as well as SLD styles. But is there any simple way for importing/exporting Mapserver mapfiles to/from SQLite? Export is probably needed and therefore there may not be any real advantage over zipping the db and mapfile into same package. But I cannot imagine how it could be made to work so simply that Mapserver admin would only drop the GPKG into some place and users could start using it from "http://server.org/cgi-bin/mapserv?map="select map from maps where map_id=1"
